Reach for this book when your child is curious about how a large group of people prepares for a big event or when you want to demystify the human side of a formal profession. This charming story peeks behind the curtain of the New York Philharmonic, showing 105 individual musicians as they wake up, bathe, and get dressed in their formal attire. By stripping away the grandeur of the stage to show the humble, repetitive rituals of putting on socks and underwear, the book humanizes the experts and highlights the beauty of individual preparation for a collective goal. At its heart, this is a story about the transition from the private self to the public professional. It celebrates the discipline of routine and the magic of many unique people coming together to create a single, harmonious sound. It is a perfect selection for children ages 4 to 8 who are beginning to navigate their own morning routines or who are interested in the behind the scenes mechanics of how the world works.
